Um...well, by MY definition, a B-side is a song that never came out on album (or more specifically, on a non-compilation album). "Child of the Universe" may have once been the B-side of a single, but for me, it stopped being a B-side when it was included on the Dr. Byrds album.

Rush >stopped making the shows because the networks would not give him a decent >time slot. Kinda funny how that works since his show had a gigantic audience. Or at least, that's what Rush told you.... Also: Out here in LA, Rush's show shifted through SEVERAL time slots, ranging from the wee hours to juicy slots like 6:30 PM and 7:30 PM. For awhile, it was even shown twice a day, once in the evening and once late at night. But I guess the stations just couldn't find a time that worked. Perhaps people just got really bored with how astoundingly predictable his show was, and the show's ratings slipped. I watched his show often at first out of curiosity, but soon turned him off after hearing too much of his incessant logic-twisting and desperate attempts to pick at the Clintons for the tiniest things. ("Hey, notice how Clinton keeps blinking during this film clip? That's because he's nervous and lying!"...silly things like that, over and over and over. Too bad he didn't hold his conservative cronies to the same standards.) His second book didn't sell nearly as well either. His power is slowly slipping away from him, and I couldn't be happier. It was inevitable - his approach is so calculated and duplicitous that he's bound to alienate even the right wing eventually. He's an entertainer, not a political thinker. He looks like a complete poseur on those rare occasions when he lets himself be thrust into an even, two-sided panel discussion. He's much better off in his own self-created Rushland, where he can screen all the callers and put his own spin on all dissenting views without fear of rebuttal. >He now does just radio but I understand he is soon to be back on national >TV.

My sentence-parser couldn't make heads or tails of this comment. But those first nine words reek of Rush's elitism. Was there anything weirder than listening to Rush claim on his show to be a man of the common people, etc., and then seeing the camera scan the universally white, business-class, suit-wearing audience?

Thanks again. the world cafe is a syndicated public radio international program. it originates at wxpn in philadelphia (88.5 fm), where it is a daily program airing from lunchtime through the afternoon. two hours of the daily broadcast, including the daily guest and features, are distributed to participating public radio stations which air the program when their schedule allows them to. for the curious, in the new york city area, the world cafe airs weekdays at 9pm on wfuv (90.7 fm). they are on the same schedule as wxpn, although most stations are usually a day behind. woj ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 May 1997 20:42:15 -0700 From: Ferris Scott Thomas Subject: "I Something. . ."

It's about gossip.. Ironically, the reference to Rush Limbaugh is exactly that--gossip and mischaracterization.. Limbaugh is a staunch (American) conservative, who has consistently stood for self-reliance, volunteerism, and good old-fashioned satire. He has as consistently been misrepresented as a racist hate-monger merely because he has not kowtowed to the classic Liberal ideas that minorities (any citizens, really) are unable on their own but require the intervention of Big Government. I don't listen to Mr. Limbaugh. I don't even really like him all that well, but, that's the way it is.

Obviously quite a few folks on this list will own this K records single. I am trying to work out if this is worth the effort to track down. From memory, the excellent 'Man with a Woman's Shadow' which appeared on ME is on this. So are the remaining two tracks worth investigating? What kind of songs are they?

The "rambling spoken bit" may be of interest to some, however, as it is Robyn's brief description of how he first met Peter Buck.

"I Something You" is pretty OK, but the standout track is "Zipper in my Spine" - the track that should have put on ME instead of MwaWS. Then again, if you that MwaWS is "excellent" we have very,very different tastes. It was the only thing that marred his most consistent album (to date, he said hopefully).

(Surreal RH content) Date: Wed, 14 May 97 15:01:00 PDT This came to me from my co-worker Dave who's going to go see Robyn at his show in Chicago at The House Of Blues. Dave would have posted this himself, but he's doesn't have an internet address. ------------------------------------- Speaking of Robyn, you can tell the show at the House of Blues is coming soon. I had a strange dream last night about Robyn. Seems I was at the show and after Robyn had played for an hour or so he stopped the show. At this point he started a question and answer session with the audience (ala Carol Burnett). Of course, after other people I finally got to ask him a question and all I could think of to ask was: "So what is a trilobite?" I don't remember his answer, however after he moved I on I was mad at myself for not asking some question about his shirt. I mean, I blew a chance to make a relevant connection with him. Anyway, after the Q & A was done he proceeded to do an audience participation thing where he invited 3 or 4 people up to the stage. The people were arranged in front of construction horses on which each had a 2 x 4 piece of lumber. At this point Robyn started the next song which was, of course, "Kung Fu Fighting". The people on the stage were encouraged by Robyn to give the 2 x 4's their best karate chops while the song was playing. At this point, I woke up and had to go to the bathroom. It really sucks getting old and not being able to sleep through the night without peeing. God only knows what would have happened next. Can't wait for the show. -------------------------------------- Wish I were there to see it.

Jones, dmw, "Daniel Saunders," randi spiegel, Mark Ponder, John Tyson Littlejohn, TPJSHEDS, Griffith Davies. Once again, due date for your ten favorite all time movies is May 31. send to tews@vcommons.com. if you sent a list but didn't see your name, i didn't get it. probably my server's fault. i seem to have a lot of missed connections etc. please try again. award for the most intriguing/obscure titles so far goes to Terry: Kika's Delivery Service (in Japanese with NO English subtitles,) and Unico in the Isles of Magic (it's actually "...Island of Magic," though.) what about StarBlazers, bro'? sorry to jump in on some of these topics so late but: i agree that were RESPECT only a bit longer, it would be a CLASSIC, rather than a mere Classic. actually, Spectre helps solve this problem, in my view. the interview portions are super. he talks so lovingly about the making of Wafflehead, and it sounds like it was so much fun to record, that i actually am starting to find it rather bearable. plus you get two alternate tracks. yea, if they'd added Bright Fresh Flower, Live-In Years, and Allright, Yeah to the end, Spectre would be quite the all-timer. what i find most offensive about Limbaugh is that he's so stoopid. i mean, would it kill the guy to get his facts right once in a while? as for entertainment value, i find him unlistenable no matter what he says, because he's always making so much damned noise in the studio. it's almost like he's trying to redo War of the Worlds at the same time he's supposed to be doing a talk show. it'd probably be really pretty interesting to see what he actually is doing in there to cause such a ruckus. whatever it is, i'm sure it involves Snausages. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 May 1997 14:22:11 -0500 (CDT) From: David Witzany Subject: Chicago Fegs meeting I really hated the thought of going to the House of Blues, too--have you all heard what they've done with Muddy Water's home in Mississippi? Future generations will wonder how tough his life could have been, raised in Hollywood--but some friends insisted on going to the one in New Orleans. I was more than pleasantly surprised; the place is actually well thought out, we got a table fairly quickly despite the lines waiting to get in, and the food was 1)regional--I'd never eaten collard greens before-- 2) very tasty and 3) not as expensive as one might expect. If someone knows of a good place to meet and eat that's within walking distance of the HOB, I'm game for anything. But if nothing better comes along, we could do a lot worse than just spending the whole evening at the House of Blues. Dave.

Now THERE'S a dependable, no-nonsense broadcaster, who shoots straight from the hip and is impervious to hype.... >2. Funny how most people, be they liberal or conservative become so easily >aggrevated when you "pick" at one their favorite wax dolls. Other conservatives attack Clinton on legitimate grounds. I have no problem with that. Limbaugh's attacks are ridiculous and specious. I don't hate Limbaugh because he's (apparently) conservative. I hate him because he's an utter fraud. I mean, I don't know the exact statistic, but I read that Limbaugh didn't even vote until he was like 35. That oughta be enough right there to discredit his claim of being some sort of dedicated American patriot. >Would it not be better to have lived your life and died as a Christian who >was mislead regarding salvation than to have lived your life as a non-believer >only to learn after death that the Christians were right? Ah, so it's just a case of covering your ass then. OK, go for it.
